The September 2025 Producer Price Index (PPI) report indicates a 0.3% monthly and 2.7% annual increase, underscoring persistent inflation concerns. This development complicates the Federal Reserve's upcoming December decision on interest rates, with markets currently predicting a 90% likelihood of a rate cut. A potential rate cut by the Fed could stimulate a rally in the cryptocurrency market, while maintaining current rates might result in a significant market correction. The decision will be made in the context of incomplete economic data due to a recent administrative shutdown, adding further uncertainty to the Fed's deliberations.
